| The largest cercle of Limoges was the CERCLE DE l´UNION, founded on 1844.The number of circle members was limited to one hundred seventy five.The registration cost in the circle was 125F and the anual contribution was 100F . These elevated amounts limits access to members of the cercle to bourgeois and aristocracy.
The establishment had four rooms, two dining rooms, a library and a room reserved for "jeux d´argent" ( cash games) .One could play l´ècarté. piquet ,l´imperiale,and the bouilotte. The members also have the opportunity to play billiards.
The cercle was established at Place Royale ( nowadays Place de la Republique).Moved in 1878 to 1 Boulevard
In 1865 was founded the " Cercle des Jeunes Gens” (Circle of young people) rue Turgot, with statutes almost identical to those of the Cercle l´Union. Known as CERCLE TURGOT, the cercle is composed of young men of good families and employees of city traders.
In 1933 the two circles have merged as the Cercle de l´Union et Turgot. The new cercle was settled in the building at 1 Boulevard de Fleurus, that was built in 1878 to host the Cercle de l´Union. |
